Fall 2018 | Professor Kate Poirier

Assignment – Graph Your Name – due October 14

The inspiration for this assignment is the class’s performance on the questions about piecewise defined functions on Test #1. You will earn one participation point for completing this assignment.

  1. Head over to desmos.com and click “start graphing.”
  2. Enter functions with restricted domains (or other relations) along the left side to graph letters that spell your name. This will probably involve some experimenting (maybe a lot). The letters don’t have to be perfect but they must be recognizable. You may enter your name in a different language if you wish. Here is some inspiration.
  3. Once you are satisfied, click the share icon on the upper right of the screen (a rectangle with an arrow coming out of it). Copy and paste the link into a comment on this post so we can see how you graphed your name!
  4. Your link is due by Monday, October 14 at 11:59pm.

You do not need to have a Desmos account to complete this assignment, but if you do have one, you’ll be able to save your work and come back to it later. Later in the semester (for the project) it will be helpful if you have a Desmos account, so you may like to sign up for one now.

      Hi Jeffrey. The assignment was to spell you own name, not “Desmos.” Want to try again?
